EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene and hidden beauty of the final resting place of William Morris, a renowned figure in British arts and literature. Tucked away in a corner of St. Georges churchyard, located in the picturesque Oxfordshire Cotswold village of Kelmscott, this grave holds great significance for admirers of Morris's work. Designed by Philip Webb, an influential architect and close friend of Morris, the tombstone stands as a testament to their artistic collaboration even beyond death. The simplicity and elegance of its design perfectly reflect Morris's aesthetic principles that he championed throughout his life. Interestingly enough, this very churchyard played a role in one of Morris's most celebrated works - News from Nowhere. In the final part of this utopian novel, the protagonist known as "the Guest" is led to St. Georges churchyard for a joyous feast amidst nature's splendor. Martyn Ferry skillfully captures not only the physical attributes but also the emotional essence surrounding this sacred site through his lens. The play between light and shadows adds depth to every detail showcased within this remarkable photograph print. Whether you are an ardent fan or simply appreciate artistry at its finest, Martyn Ferry's portrayal invites you on an intimate journey into history and pays homage to two extraordinary individuals who have left an indelible mark on British culture.
